The average or equivalent level for the HTL, LTL, or | |
LEQ | 3 dB for the event. |
DOSE | The percent Dose for the HTL, LTL, or 3 dB for the |
| event. |
TWA | The Time Weighted Average for HTL or LTL or the |
SEL | Sound Exposure Level for the event. |
PEAK | The Peak Level for the event. |
LEVEL |
|
MAX | The Maximum Level for the event. |
LEVEL |
|
RUN | The Run Time of the event. |

Setting the Clock | |
| If the clock is not set, it functions as an elapsed time clock from the time the unit is reset. |
| The clock can be either a 12- or |
| When the clock is set to the current time, it will record the actual time for Events and Histograms. |
CODE | Press until the display includes a colon. The display |
HL3 | is in hours and minutes. To set clock, press 0 and num- |
| bers for the current time. The time will move in from the right. The clock is not set until |
| PAUSE/RESET is pressed. |
PAUSE | Resets the current time to the number in the display. |
RESET | The display then shows CLo. |
Recording the Calibration Level | |
| The procedure does not calibrate the unit. It stores the CAL level to assure the unit was calibrated. |
CODE | Press the key until CAL and the current calibration |
HL3 | level is displayed. To recalibrate the unit, press SOUND |
| LEVEL with the microphone inserted in a calibrator. |
SOUND | The display will show SPL (the calibrator level). Wait |
LEVEL | until the level is steady and press PAUSE/RESET. |
| If the unit is slightly out of calibration, gently adjust |
| the CAL screw. If the unit is more than a few decibels out of calibration, it should be |
| rechecked. |
PAUSE | Resets the calibration level. Hold key down until the |
RESET | display shows CAL. |
Using a Printer | |
| The printout (Figure 2) can include a heading, a summary of the data, event data, 1 to 3 |
histograms, 1 or 2 percent time statistical distributions, and 1 or 2 percent dose statistical distributions. The | |
histograms can be of 1, 3, 5, or | |
graphical or both. The printout can be changed and edited before or during printing to print only desired | |
data. Data is not lost during a printout. | |
CODE | To print only HTL, LTL, or 3 dB histograms and statis- |
HL3 | tical distributions, hold key down until the one desired |
| is displayed. To print all 3, hold key down until all 3 |
| are displayed. |
Prints heading, summary, events, and desired histo- | |
| grams and distributions. |
HIST 1 | Prints |
| HTL, LTL, and 3 dB are displayed all 3 will be printed. |
HIST 3 | Prints |
HIST 5 | Prints |
HIST 10 | Prints |
| If HIST 1,3,5, or 10 is pressed during a printout, the next line will print with the new time base for |
a clearer report. | |
STAT | Prints a % Time and a % Dose statistical distribution. |
PAUSE | Pauses the printer to edit printout or adjust printer. |
RESET | The display shows PSE. To continue printing, press |
| PAUSE again. Other print keys will alter the printout. |
| To conserve power do not leave PSE on the display. |
| ON/OFF will also exit print mode. |
ON | Stops the printout. If the printer buffer contains data |
OFF | the printer may run for several seconds after |
| displayed; however, the printout has stopped. |
